takes from the people 10y taxation money which should
not be taken from them, and II keeps from clrcuato
money which the people should be using We propose
do away with this surplus FIRST by diminishing the tax
ton which puts 1t in the Treasury and second by eApe
ing on necessary public objects the money
which Is already there We propose TO take
OFF the duty imported article
which enters into an American manufacture as material
necessary article OF competition for American
people which cannot probably be produced here Wuere
an article be probably produced here and American
labor supported BY Its production We propose 10 keel
the duty on"
